Very good book for basic OT

Unable to open the book in my app. Please help me.

Really helpful book. You do have to pick through for the appropriate information for where you are from as this book is centred around the American system I believe and we don’t get the same kinds of support through the health systems, but the practical information is very helpful.

I’ve read lots of books to help my daughter, who can’t use the toilet at 6.5 years. We’ve also been enrolled in OT for a year. This book has hints about the toilet, including using food dye in the toilet bowl, sitting backwards, drawing etc. Innovative ideas I have not come across before - and the tips work! This book is well worth the money, and takes a kind approach towards kids.

I purchased this book because I am interested in implementing home therapies sessions with my autistic son. Our rehab clinic can only see him once a week for 30 mins and it is simply not enough. I found the book very informative and like that it includes examples. Will def use as a reference.

I am a Canadian occupational therapist. This book offers some helpful strategies, but does not always offer best available evidence (especially for some of the sensory strategies). Additionally, at one point the author recommends that a parent try “clipping their child’s toenails in their sleep” if the child has a sensory aversion to this. I find this recommendation extremely problematic from a consent perspective. I’ve read a lot of pediatric OT blogs and unfortunately the ideas here don’t feel too different from the general strategies found in other OT blogs. At $30 I don’t think this product is worth it, though I am reading it from the perspective of someone oriented to this information already.
